Description
The Pennsylvania Potato Research Program, run by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, funds research focused on potato production. Germplasm and Verticillium Wilt are examples of research topics, but the program also considers other work related to potato production. Funds collected from potato producers are used exclusively for this research.
The program represents producers who grow at least five acres of potatoes for sale or marketing. The Pennsylvania Potato Program Board reviews research proposals, and grant recipients provide twice-yearly updates on their proposed work and deliverables.
